Spokesman of the Joint Culture and Judiciary Commission in Iran’s so-called parliament said a bill has been ratified by this body specifying a 1 million rial fine (around $30) for vehicles carrying women with improper veiling.
“According to Article 1 of the Virtue and Hijab Plan, drivers or passengers with improper veiling will be considered criminals and traffic police can take action against them,” said Nasrollah Pejman-far. According to this article traffic police can also take action against drivers that have passengers not abiding by hijab regulations and also fine them 1 million rials.
